# Strand Support vs Open Ticket | Strand Support

[← All comparisons](/compare)

Discord ticket bot

Open Ticket is a widely deployed open-source Discord ticket bot: panels, categories, and transcripts stay inside Discord or your self-hosted setup. Strand Support keeps Discord tickets for customers while adding a branded support site and staff panel on the same queue, plus purchase context for stores that sell through Tebex and similar platforms.

## Who should pick which

### Choose Open Ticket if

-   You want open-source software you can host yourself
-   Discord-only tickets with panel customisation are enough

### Choose Strand Support if

-   You need Discord and a branded portal sharing one ticket queue
-   Commerce context from Tebex should appear beside the conversation
-   You want hosted ops tooling without maintaining bot infrastructure

## Open Ticket is a good fit for

-   Communities that want a free or self-hosted Discord ticket bot
-   Servers comfortable managing bot hosting and updates
-   Teams that only need tickets inside Discord

## Where it usually falls short

-   Support stays Discord-centric; no full white-label customer portal product
-   Purchase history from game-store platforms is not built in
-   Staff ops like KB, custom domain, and audit require other tools
